For Elvie + Perifit dropouts
Tried a Kegel device. Stopped using it.
You're not the problem. The pelvic floor doesn't need a $200 gadget that lives in a drawer after week three. It needs a plan that fits how you actually move through the day.

Why most women drop the device by week 3
Charging friction
Bluetooth runs out, you forget the cable, the device sits in the drawer for a week. Then two. The habit dies.
App pressure
Daily check-ins start as motivation, become guilt, end as notification fatigue. You uninstall.
Kegel-only narrow focus
Devices teach you to squeeze. They miss breath coordination, hypertonic floors, integration with daily movement — the 60% of pelvic-floor function that actually matters.
No life-stage fit
Postpartum at 6 weeks needs different work than perimenopause at 47. One device, one app, doesn't know the difference.
What works instead
A pelvic-floor program built like clinical care, delivered like a daily habit. 10 minutes a day. No equipment. Phone optional.
Stage-matched program in 2 minutes
Postpartum 0-12 mo, 1-5 yrs, perimenopause, menopause, athlete, prevention. The quiz routes you to the right plan. No guessing.
Breath-first, not squeeze-first
We start with diaphragm coordination — the lever every pelvic-floor PT uses. Squeezing comes later, only when it serves the bigger pattern.
Functional integration, not isolation
Squats, hip-bridges, getting up from a chair without leaking — your floor needs to coordinate with the rest of you.
Hypertonic-aware
Half of pelvic-floor problems are over-tight muscles, not weak ones. Devices ignore this. We screen for it.
$129 one-time. Lifetime access.
Not a subscription. Not a device. Buy once, refer back any time your stage changes.
